He lost his form thats all. Just wait and see what a monster he can be when he rediscover it.

Ronaldo hasn’t played well since about 10 games out from the end of last season.
Personally, I think he’s had his great season and will never come close to that form again.

All he did in the game was kick Dawson.. for which he should of been sent off.. he is over rated..

There is too much pressure from the public and the media on Ronaldo. Yes he is one of the greatest players in the world at the moment but that doesn’t mean that every time he has the ball at his feet he’s going to pull off some houdini mind blowing tricks/skills. He has developed a lot since he came to united as a young boy and still has plenty to learn. I agree, since the end of last season and his recent operation he hasnt quite got back in to the same form. He seems like he’s a gear down and im sure when the time is right he will shift up a gear and prove all the critics wrong…. once again!

8 goals and 3 assists in 11 games is a return every player would be proud of, you can’t really says he’s not having a good season when you look at those statistics.

The expectation that everybody have for the lad are gigantic and it’s not easy for such a young player to constantly live up to that, although he does do a hell of a good job doing it though. Also what has to be remembered is that he went off the field injured in the last league game and probably wasn’t fully fit for this game.
But I have to agree with Alex, the statistics he’s ranked up so far are really incredible if you think at how much of the season he’s missed.

Look at him for what he really is…. A side… an incredibly talented young man who could become a footballing genius…B side….a little shite who is too big for his own over inflated ego., and a cheating bad tempered little prick

That performance says nothing except that Zokora is a good defender, or at least one that is not to be fooled by Ronaldo’s tricks. And that Ronaldo has never really had a good game against us. He never plays well against Spurs, so it wasn’t a surprise on Saturday.

think he scored 2 past you last season or season bfore single handedly winning the game…but yeah hes NEVER played well against Spuds.

He wasn’t very good in that game, despite scoring two goals. Not that the Him-adoringhappy-clappy United glory hunters would know.

Good luck holding on to Zokora in January
